"I called at 8:00pm on a Tuesday night. The plumber came before 10:00pm as promised. He replaced a leaking shut-off valve and associated pipe within an hour. Cost was as quoted for one hour labor plus parts which were less expensive than expected. No extra costs for travel time or anything else. We will definitely use again."
"He came out when scheduled and checked the sewer pump. He then checked on various pumps and recommended one of the lowest priced units which he installed without any problem."
"I needed my outdoor shower/bath plumbing redirected due to a collapsed pipe. Zach diagnosed the problem and offered two options depending on what he found. He arrived on time and got the job done in a day and cleaned up well. Overall a really good experience."
"Seaside Plumbing re-piped my water lines from Quest Poly-B to CPVC. From the first contact with the office staff (Chrissy) to the finished project it was a pleasant experience. Project was scoped/estimated by Tom, and he and his team (Devin and Logan) showed up when they said, completed the re-piping between the crawl space, kitchen and bathrooms in the time they said upfront it would take, and answered my questions along the way. It is easy to tell customer satisfaction is job #1 with Seaside."
"A superior company. They follow through on their commitments. They have long time employees with great experience. BWN waterproofed our leaky basement about 10 years ago. No problems for almost a decade. After a recent weekend downpour we had water along one of the basement western storm-facing walls. We called and opened a service ticket with Gary. They called back in a little over a day and scheduled a repair at our convenience. Joe, a long time employee, very courteous, professional, and respectful, arrived on the job. He had reviewed our prior project and knew the property well. And it was a window well drain that had clogged. Luckily, it was easily unclogged and the problem was completely solved. We have always been pleased with the work and response of this locally owned business."
"We had a major leak in our sprinkler system. Martin and crew quickly determined the issue - need to replace older 3 zone manifold with master valve, provided a good estimate, and went to work in a skillful highly professional manner. Issue was resolved with no major problems. We shall continue to utilize Burge due to it's honesty and professionalism."

"We had them install an indoor sump pump (including digging the pit and pipes) and some basement walkout drain installation. They did high-quality work and finished quickly. Their price was the best of 5 quotes I received and so the value was high. The only thing that was not perfect was that communication was slow, sometimes they did not respond to texts, but they were good when they responded, and they showed up on time. Overall, 9/10, highly recommend!"
"The work crew was organized. When they arrived on the job we walked the job and they made sure that they understood what my expectations were. There were well organized and they worked well together. they completed the installation in one day and left the job site clean."
"After 7 years and 4 plumbing companies, I finally found an honest plumber who was able to solve my problems for a fraction of the cost and time! This is the ONLY plumber that I will welcome back to work on my house!"
Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on clog severity, pipe condition, equipment required, and labor.
If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.
Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.
While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.
Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.
